The Hansie Cronjé story

an authorised biography

Plot

Hansie Cronje's global popularity stemmed from a bright and boyish approach to life, a cheerful and friendly simplicity that charmed most of those who got to know him. He had the common touch and a gladiator's charisma that was a result of a shining captaincy, wonderful genetic cricketing ability and a ruthless dedication to personal success and athleticism. His spirituality was a further intriguing factor; and this made his controversial involvement with the Indian gambling mafia even more incredible.
